Any particular reason 'pettanko' isn't part of the 'small tits' synonym group? Seems like it should be there.

Right, I hadn't thought of mind control.
Will try reading through the list again.
Thanks for your efforts.

I looked up the term, and IIRC it meant 'insecurity about having small tits', which is distinct from just having them. AIUI, you don't even need to have a character with small tits to tag pettanko, they just need to be smaller than another character's.

Hmm, maybe the term's meaning has gained nuance in the fifteen years since I saw it used frequently...

Given that it's a Japanese term, I wouldn't be surprised if English usage of it usually doesn't carry the nuance, especially when the presentation is 'character focused on their flat chest'. Double-checking, I myself got it slightly wrong, as it's 'insecurity or obsession', so a character who's very proud of their small tits would also count.

Couple tags I came across I don't understand:
<mflolibaba> 1 ?
<bd shota protag> 1 ?
My best guess with the first is 'male to female lolibaba', though compressing it to such illegibility is baffling if so. Or 'motherfucking lolibaba', which would pair well with the accompanying 'necrophilia' and 'necro-mom' tags (probably this).
The second… blue ray? Battle dress? *shrugs*

It is a shota with a big dick, so the former seems very likely. Thanks.

Worse, it's a Japanese slang term - the meaning has probably mutated multiple times since it started to be used by the Anime community.
I wouldn't be surprised to discover that's one of the terms different anime groups disagree about its meaning.

Thanks for all the work on this.
Feedback below, roughly most useful first. Numbers in brackets are use counts from a tag export you gave a few weeks ago, so they are slightly off.
Edit: I've since checked everything against your Synonym Groups threadmark and removed the points it already covers. Two points are withdrawn after lurkingkraken's reply (struck through below).
1. Typos / formatting
- {... eventual oyakodon - possible oyakodon} oyakodan → canonical should be "oyakodon" (that tag exists, 9).
- {mild bimbofication} bimboification → "bimbofication" exists (45); "bimboification" looks like a typo.
- {womb tattoos} womb tattoos → points at itself. Probably meant {womb tattoo} womb tattoos (both exist, 6 each).
- {violent bloody deaths} violent death. → the canonical has a trailing period; should be "violent death".
- {semi-forced prostitution} forced_prostitution → the canonical has an underscore; should be "forced prostitution" (you merge other underscore tags into the spaced version, e.g. face_fucking → face fucking).
- Bracket mismatches in the Full list: "{deepthroating]", "... bitch gets a pony] horse cock", "{protagonist willing to sexually experiment> 1".
- In alien sex, "also" is really part of one tag, "also - hot filthy alien space sex"; the " - " inside it splits it in two in your notation.
- In the Strays spoiler there is a synonym group: "{cartoon} cartoons".
2. Same tag in two places
- "dragonknight": merged into dragon knight AND synonym of dragon riders.
- "stupid sexy humans": in both humanfucker and hotties.
- "the fox will be bred": canonical of {slooty fox} AND a synonym of impregnation.
- "sexy eldritch mom": in eldritch love interests AND in strays.
- "vampire/demon": in vampires AND in strays.
- "outside pov" is merged into third-person narrative, while "pov outsider" goes to non-mc pov. Same thing; both belong in non-mc pov.
- "f/f/m threesome" and "m/f/f" are two canonicals for the same configuration.
- "best waifu" and "main waifu" → monogamy: a harem can have a main waifu. "waifufagging" isn't monogamy either.
3. Synonyms that mean something else
4. Canonical choice
- [mind-break - mind break] mindbreak: "mind break" has 150 uses vs 32 for "mindbreak". I'd make "mind break" canonical.
- [hypno - hypnosis - hypnotizing] hypnotism: "hypnosis" 49 vs "hypnotism" 20. <hypnofetish> (17) could join.
- {ntr - ... - netorare - cuckold} cuckolding: ntr (119) + netorare (30) vs cuckolding (13), and all your satellite canonicals use ntr (ntr possible, ntr probable, ntr world, anti-ntr). I'd use "ntr".
- {vaginal sex - penis_in_vagina_sex} straight sex: "vaginal sex" (70) is clearer, and "straight sex" sits right next to "straight" (the existing het canonical). <vaginal> (6) in strays belongs here.
- {mc is an evil dork} mc is a dork: uses "mc", which you're standardising away from. "dork protag"?
- "pokémon protagonist" vs "protag" everywhere else.
- Your existing canonicals use "ai" without dots (ai generated, ai assisted, ai images, ai chatbot), so "a.i. sex", "a.i. protag", "a.i. waifu", "a.i. love you" are the odd ones out.
- Joke canonicals: "heart eyes best fetish", "seduce everyone!", "goodness sexy" (→ "good is sexy", parallel to "evil is sexy").
- {kantai collection} kancolle, {mahoako} gushing over magical girls, {kimetsu no yaiba} demon slayer, {kobayashi-san chi no maid dragon} miss kobayashi's dragon maid, {rīnkānēshon no kaben} petals of reincarnation: same works under another title, so merges by your definition. You used [ ] for mahouka in the same batch.
- "commission" vs "commissions": very close names for different meanings (this work is commissioned / the author takes commissions). "commissioned work" / "open commissions" would be clearer, and <open commissions> is in strays.
5. Consistency
- Protag tags folded into non-protag ones: "shapeshifting protag", "reincarnated protag", "angsty protag" are merge canonicals, then listed as synonyms of shapeshifting / reincarnation / angst. Everywhere else protag tags stay separate.
- Non-protag tags in protag canonicals: "pervert" → horny protag; "stud", "satyriasis" → manwhore protag; "terrible flirting" → flirty protag.
- "Possible" / "?" variants: your existing groups keep them separate (possible harem, possible romance, possible yuri, possible smut), and this batch does too for incest?, mind control?, mindbreak?, vore?, bestiality?, potential impregnation. But this batch folds them into the main tag for mpreg (mpreg possible), twincest (possible twincest), yandere (yandere?), selfcest (selfcest?), guro (technically guro?), abuse (abuse?). Also implied/referenced abuse goes into abuse, while implied incest stays separate.
- Singular/plural as synonyms instead of merges: shortstack/shortstacks, bad end/bad ends.
- "non-human protag" (46, in strays) and "inhuman protag" (merge canonical) are the same thing. I'd merge into non-human protag.
- Near-duplicate canonicals: "reality warped" vs "reality warping" (55); "eventual god tier" vs "divine ascension".
- [mother daughter] mother and daughter vs [mom/son - mother-son - mother/son] mother and son: for daughters you split relationship and incest; for sons the slash pairing "mother/son" goes to the relationship tag.
6. Strays that fit an existing group
- <spanking> (27) ← ass slapping
- <vaginal> (6) → vaginal sex
- <pettanko> → small tits (it means flat chest)
- <muscular female lead> → muscle girls
- <tied up> → bondage
- <npc pov> → non-mc pov
- <strip tease> → stripping
- <gore (possible)> (14) → "gore possible", like character death possible
- <cock bulge> + <stomach bulge> + "belly bulge" (3, not in your list) together
- <multi-partner sex> + <multiple sexual partners> together
- <cowgirl position> (10) is the obvious canonical when doggy style and missionary get one. <cowgirl> (8) is ambiguous (position, cow-girl, western).
7. Variants not in the list (checked against your Synonym Groups threadmark)
- doggy (1) → doggy style
- katekyo-hitman-reborn (5) → katekyo hitman reborn!
- fake dating au (1) → with fake relationship

3. Synonyms that mean something else

- {spitroasting} double penetration: spitroast is mouth + one other hole; DP usually means two below.
- {ass slapping} slapping: that's spanking, and <spanking> (27) is sitting in strays. Face slapping is something else.
- {dick vore} oral vore: dick vore = cock vore, a distinct type (like anal vore and unbirth, which you keep apart).
- {non fatal vore - i don't do fatal vore} soft vore: in vore jargon, soft vore = swallowed whole without chewing/gore, and it can still be fatal. Non-fatal is usually "endo" / "safe vore".
- {... - vote fetishes - ...} vore: "vote fetishes" most likely means fetishes picked by vote (quests). It belongs next to "kinks determined by votes" in all fetishes welcome.
- {... machine fucking - fucking machines ...} robot sex: fucking machines are sex devices, not robots.
- {cyberware sex - ...} cybersex: "cybersex" normally means online sex; the canonical name will mislead.
- {orgasm torture - overstimulation} sexual torture: overstimulation is often consensual play; this files it under torture.
- {... - verbal abuse} humiliation: verbal abuse is a content warning, not a kink; it fits abuse better.
- {groping - fondling} molestation / {sexual harasser - chikan} sexual harassment: chikan IS groping (on trains). And groping/fondling can be consensual; "molestation" isn't.
- {... female milking - breastfeeding} lactation vs {lots of milking} milking: female milking in one group, lots of milking in the other. Breastfeeding a baby isn't the kink.
- {first time} virgin sex: "first time" (12) often means first time together, not virginity.
- {alcohol - rampant alcoholism} alcoholism: "alcohol" (7) fits drinking better.
- {female cheating on male} hotwife: hotwife is consensual, cheating isn't. Belongs in cheating.
-{it's not rape if we are both screeming - ...} rape: the tag literally says it isn't rape. Withdrawn, see lurkingkraken's reply.
-{cock drunk - fucked silly - mind-shattering orgasms - love = orgasms} ahegao: ahegao is a specific face; these are about intensity. Withdrawn, see lurkingkraken's reply.
- {selfcest? - clone sex - ...} selfcest: clone sex (7) can be sex with someone else's clone.
- {brother sister - ...} brother-sister incest: "brother sister" alone may just mean siblings.
- {tatoo - tattoos} tattoo fetishism: plain "tattoos" is usually description, not fetish.
- {sex for favors - sexual favors - fake relationship} transactional sex: fake relationship (fake dating) is a romance trope.
- {cumshot - bukkake} facial: bukkake (20) is a group act, searched/excluded on its own.

- {... - pet the dog} dog: "Pet the Dog" is the TV Tropes trope (villain shows kindness).
- {even evil have loved ones} villains need love too: "Even Evil Has Loved Ones" is also a TV Tropes trope, with a different meaning (the villain cares about family/friends).
- {mindscrew - ...} mindfuck: Mind Screw = confusing narrative (TV Tropes). "mindfuck" itself is ambiguous in a list that also has mindbreak.

I'll reply in detail later, and apply edits, but just at a quick skim a lot of this looks very useful. Thanks a lot.

It's not rape if they like it!
It's not rape if they get heart eyes!
It's not rape if they are my slave!
Most of the time the "it's not rape if…" tags and statements are thin self-justifications for the character committing rape to not feel guilty about committing rape.
And given that that one work also used the tag 'rape as a battle tactic', it most likely is a case of rape.
While technically true, the vast vast majority of the time ahego is caused by being fucked silly and having mind shattering orgasms.
If this were an image board, or a video site, that separation would matter because sometimes people do make that face for meme purposes, but in stories it's a fine synonym because people looking for ahego stories are looking for stories of people who have a massive orgasm.

Will move that.
Yeah, that's just a consequence of the way I'm separating tags sometimes overlapping with the tag formulation itself. It won't be an issue when I'm synonymising.
Will edit that synonym to account for the merge.
Will keep synonymised with the former, due to its usage.
I'll remove that from the impregnation group.
Will remove from the love interests group.
Hmm. Keep in vampires group maybe?
*checks* Seems so.
My assumption was that the former is more likely to be referencing sex (and possibly just sex) while the latter is more likely to be a relationship configuration (sometimes without sex). I could be wrong though.
True, was very unsure about what to do with those. I might group those three together, separate from the 'waifu' or 'monogamy' groups.
What is 'oral vore'? I thought it could either mean 'vore after giving oral' or 'vore from eating/swallowing', and I guessed the former (which is why I paired it with dick vore), but maybe it's distinguishing it from consuming using other orifices?
…it seems clear at a glance why I mixed that up, but I'm still kinda confused how I managed to do that.
Will probably put that in the 'sex toys' group.
True. And the usage seems conventional; will separate.
Breastfeeding doesn't necessarily reference 'with a baby' (and doesn't seem to be for the involved threads). 'female milking' feels slightly more industrial than 'breastfeeding', but they're both 'lactation'. Not sure whether it's worth separating out 'female milking' as a stray.
'milking', generically, can mean getting breast milk, or it could mean milking a cock, so I've kept that separate from the 'female milking' group.
Ah. Yeah, I'll rejig the 'first time' tags to be separate from the virgin ones.
Fair. Will add 'drinking' as a Synonym of 'alcohol', and probably have 'alcoholism' as a separate group. Will probably put 'blood drinking' next to (but not grouped with) the vampire stuff too.
I'll separate both into strays I think.
I think the involved thread meant it literally, looking at the other tags, but will separate for potential future usage.
AIUI mindfuck can also mean a confusing narrative, and both could simultaneously mean messing with someone's mind (in a mind control sense). I put them together because they're both ambiguous in the same way.
I did know that slang, but surprisingly all usage on QQ was literal eggs.
Yeah, I'd put 'time' as the Canonical tag for ambiguous 'time fuckery' and 'timey wimey' tags in a previous batch, but thought again that 'time' is too generic for even that. I'm inclined to keep 'time fuckery' as the Canonical, but I might separate 'time' as a 'what do you even mean?' stray.
Oh. Maybe? Will separate.
Hmm. I suppose so.
Are you saying I should separate them into three groups of 'character death', 'minor character death', and 'major character death'? Rather, I should do that regardless of whether you meant that.
Both are referencing 'The Zombie Knight Saga'. I might normal merge 'zombie knight' into 'zombie knight saga', then hard-merge into the full title, so 'zombie knight' doesn't auto convert in the future.
I chose 'mindbreak' because of the grammatical similarity with 'heartbreak', but wikitionary (and the other top results) use 'mind break', so I will change it to that.
Given they all mean the same thing, 'hypnosis' is shorter than 'hypnotism'. 'Hypno' is even shorter, but it's also a pokemon name, so… will make 'hypnosis' Canonical, with 'hypno' and (maybe 'hypnofetish'?) as Synonyms.
Yeah. I had a vague desire to prioritise the English, but people on QQ know what 'ntr' means, even if they don't know what 'netorase' or 'netori' mean.
I suppose 'vaginal sex' doesn't necessarily imply 'straight'. Will reorganise.
Maybe 'dorky protag'.
Yeah, it looks better that way to me, but given all the existing use is 'ai', I'll squash that urge and stick with the standard.
Fair.
I'm keeping both Japanese and English name's for properties, because people can have strong opinions about which you should use, and I don't need to overrule anyone's preferences on this. I still generally only have one tag for each language, which is the full spelled out name, so it's 'kantai collection' and 'kancolle' that is the odd one out (will merge those).
My understanding of 'commissions' was less 'open commissions' (which is why that's a stray) and more 'this is a thread with multiple (or exclusively) commissions'. It's an author who does commissions, but not necessarily implying that they've got time in their schedule for more work atm.
That's intentional.
I kept those separate because 'inhuman' can mean 'non-human' but it can also mean 'immoral'.
The first is the state of the universe (which might not have anything to do with any of the characters), while the second is an active process.
The first is reaching a certain level of power, while the second is becoming a literal god (which isn't entirely about power).
Oh. Does '/' definitively indicate a romantic/sexual relationship?
Japanese slang term meaning 'character obsessed with, or insecure about, their flat chest'. This is distinct from the generic 'small tits', which could be a description of the protagonist, or their sexual preference. Japanese slang, so whether usage matches that nuance, *shrugs*, but keeping separate.
My understanding of 'lead' is as a synonym for 'protagonist' (though not necessarily a viewpoint one). Keeping the protag tags separate from the generic descriptors, as you've noted.
I see 'npc' as more video-game vibed, and they can be the focus without there being an 'mc' (though there'd be generic 'players').
Stomach bulge and belly bulge, yeah. I'm less sure about pairing them with 'cock bulge', as they both have different possible meanings, and they aren't the same meanings.
'multi-partner sex' I saw as 'having sex with multiple people at once', while 'multiple sexual partners' could mean 'having sex with multiple people, separately'.
Hmm. The sole 'doggy' tagged thread has bestiality with a dog, so maybe not.
People adding 'au' to existing tags makes everything unnecessarily difficult, as it now means there's a fake relationship and the entire world is changed from canon in unspecified ways. Just use the 'au' tag! *grumble grumble*

So this tag doesn't mean there will be doggo in the fic? A funny dog? I'm sad. I'm starting to feel like a lot of people are using tags really wrong.

Thanks for going through all of it.
Oral vore: yes, it's about the orifice. In vore communities "oral vore" is the standard swallowed-through-the-mouth type, as opposed to anal vore, cock vore, unbirth, etc. So dick vore belongs next to those, not with oral vore.
"/": I checked the threads instead of guessing. On QQ the slash doesn't matter: all 11 threads tagged mother/son, mom/son or mother-son are incest stories, and so are all the "mother and son" threads I could see. For daughters it's different: most "mother-daughter" / "mother and daughter" threads without an incest tag seem to be about a mother and daughter both involved with someone else (threesomes, harems). So your split already matches how people use them, and my point doesn't hold.
Character death: yes, three groups is what I meant.
Your other objections make sense to me, especially inhuman = immoral (hadn't thought of that). And sorry about doggy.

Meant to include this in my first reply-
—
I'll effectuate the edits tomorrow, and I'll also highlight a few other areas (not brought up so far) I'm unsure about.
I'm also planning to write up a better preface for the Suggested Tags threads. At the moment, it's a roughly sorted list of tags and a bunch of links to resources in this thread. It would be useful to have it open with a concise 'why tags are useful' (rather than just the word 'optional', as it is now, which isn't exactly a winning pitch), and some framework to work with when picking tags. I have some ideas for what I want to say, but I'll probably workshop it till the end of the feedback period, and then include it in the 'starting to merge/synonymise' notice.
-the tag export (assuming you're refering to this) was just over four months ago now. (I would say 'time flies', but that gap feels right.)
Yeah, I remember checking that when I was deciding. I likely will doublecheck again before actually doing it, and I might make them normal merges.
